Even DF willing
But the fall in asylum-seekers coming to Denmark has other politicians up in arms, criticising the government for not living up to UN refugee quotas – an area the Danes have historically been pioneers in.

Enhedslisten and Radikale have both criticised the Danish refugee freeze, and even Dansk Folkeparti (DF) has indicated it was willing to support a refugee quota plan.

“If we completely shut down the spontaneous asylum-seekers with an asylum blockade at the border, we can easily discuss taking 500 quota refugees per year,” Martin Henriksen, the spokesperson for DF regarding immigration issues, told Jyllands-Posten.
